Next morning, Suzanne and I joined Seva for coffee and then we began our walk past the houses on our site and along the sea and houses until we came to a palm tree being trimmed (and the coconuts being removed to avoid litigation and then we made our way past the Southern Cross Club where our footsteps went past the multicolored structures with the ship at sea and as Suzanne and Seva past those structures I arrived at the Conch Club where this was the scene and these were the coconuts as Suzanne and Seva joined me as we looked out at Owen Island and then down the beach and into the sky which appeared to be clearing and so we made our way path the monument of unknown reason and the conch table as we proceeded past the construction vehicle and landed at the sea where we swam and then made our footsteps along the sea and found our way back stopping to enjoy some sea sponge kayaks along the shore and the Gilligan's Island shower before we returned, I enjoyed my beer and Peter returned from his dive and told us the tale of life at 101 feet below. While we were preparing to head out, Tom appeared and as the beer bottle was going away Peter spoke with Tom about his Kansas City roots, his house on the north shore and his windsurfing life. As Tom was surfing away, we were studying the rum runner putting it in the blender recording the ingredients adding ice and after making sandwiches blending the drinks we would bring to the island and eating our sandwiches and apples before pouring the drinks and heading off to the island. Having recorded the day before, I didn't bring my camera this day and so missed a few experiences, including the walk across the sea more than halfway back to Southern cross and the boat ride into town to the grocery store. Gentle reader, you will need to use your imagination to see us in shoulder height water far off shore wondering whether to continue and our attempt to dock the boat on the concrete pier in town.

We headed out to the Southern Cross Club for dinner where the hostess greeted us and Fernando the bartender came to take our orders as bread was served along with proscuito and cantaloupe for the meat eaters and fritters for the vegetarian as our drinks were brought and Peter shared an important article about the benefits of food photography as our main courses arrived along with wine for those who were imbibing. Desert was fruit salad and pumpkin pie though we were assured that the best dessert was the date square. After dinner, we were photographed in the kitchen with the cooks by the manager who then posed with Suzanne and Seva. We recorded the ghostly figure and I noticed that our shadows would not be photographed as we walked home to have coffee and conversation as we wondered if the storm was going to last.
